    I’ve been using librewolf over the last week. Honestly… It’s a drop in replacement for me

      The problem with those sorts of forks is they still require moz to do most of the heavy lifting.

      If Firefox stopped being developed they’d all pretty much freeze in place.

        I agree to a point, I think some people would pick up the development. Idk if it’d be librewolf or if someone would fork off that, but if Firefox completely shit the bed I think someone would pick up the mantle a bit. We wouldn’t have nearly the release cadence of firefox though.

      Does it support containers and sync settings between installs on multiple systems? If so I’m in without hesitation.

          Thanks. Just set it up on one of my computers. I’ll be doing the rest as time allows. There’s a lot I love about it already, familiar but with better defaults, and including search engines like SearXNG. I hope enough of us can switch and send a message to Mozilla, though that feels very unlikely to stop the enshittification.

            oh they’re full on corpo now it sounds like, which is too bad. They should have gone the proton route and go full non-profit org controlled, but here we are.

        It’s basically hardened Firefox, you can do all the same things here too. Alas using it with an account kind of defeats the purpose. However you can use your account once to sync everything.
